2. Pennsylvania Dutch here... we all talked backwards sometimes.
Throw the cow over the fence some hay. We would REDD up our rooms and that did not involve red crayons. The yolk of an egg was "The Dippy." A rubber band is a gumband. I'm sure there are loads more, but I moved away from there thirty-three years ago and I've lost a lot of the dialect.

Don't laugh at my childhood pain. It's not so much the visual flashback's of Uncle Hector's bathroom that haunt me, it's the Smells....think of rotting cabbage and peanut butter.

just rib a little cologne on your upper lip and you won't smell it. Use the good stuff. I recommend "Aqua Velva Essence of Trout". A full TWO gallons for a dollar at the dollar store.

5. My Grandmother had that saying framed in her kitchen
The hurrier I get one. My Mother said this saying -- "You to your fancy, and I to my Nancy That's what the man said when he kissed the cow" She always used this saying to teach us not to judge others -- I like that. My father said this one -- "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice"

a derogatory term about Naples. It literally means, "Ah, go to Naples!" or figuratively, "Go to hell!" LOL

14. "Keep out from underfoot" was about the nicest we heard from them. Back then (the 1950s
and 1960s), the childrens' duty was solely to avoid interrupting or otherwise annoying the adults. Anything less than a compound fracture was non-reportable. Redstone
